2. when a uploaded file fails is_uploaded_file().
My English parser bailed out on this one :)
I felt bad when I saw is_uploaded_file() introduced - it is such a cheezy function call; people shouldn't even have to call it themselves, and I can imagine no situation (except for laziness) that you would not call it.
While it may be rare to find a situation in which it's useful more than move_uploaded_file(), these cases do exist. I'm not sure what's wrong with it, can you be more specific? Zeev
